Very good, thank you
Are they all the same up to the change in the eighties ?
In a bit of a dilemma really, earlier ones had an easier to build truck cab roof but I don't want to upset people by having bits of a 55 and bits of a 75.
I would like headlamps in the wings as you don't get that in the ones other people build but then I can't have the easy to build roof. Back of cab will have to be open to house steering wheel and switches and give access to brake pedal etc.. I'd like to be sitting just forward of the rear axle, bumper to bumper length will be about seven foot six
Bumper to bumper would be great if you could please
Also need height of bumpers from the ground as I can't get from drawings if you dont mind

Tyre size and suspension sag will impact this. Can't see how you could get an accurate or reliable figure.Also need height of bumpers from the ground as I can't get from drawings if you dont mind

It will be a real life measurement so the model Landy looks right
It can be accurate to a few mm but if it doesn't look right then it's not right
This will give chassis to top of axle number which you can then work out with wheel size (if you know axle size) as The drawings give chassis datum, you need to work from that.

Series 3 spring measurement
Hi guys, I am thinking about replacing the springs on my 109 for parabolics. I am looking at GB springs and there are a couple of options due to load rating. What I am trying to understand is if my truck is at a normal ride height on the front or if it is lower due to spring sag or the way I have...

Thanks I'll have a look but my wheels may be slightly the wrong size so the wheel arch gap might be wrong.This will give chassis to top of axle number which you can then work out with wheel size (if you know axle size) as The drawings give chassis datum, you need to work from that.

I have to go and measure the wheels and then measure the landy wheel to compare, hopefully my wheel is about half the height
There will be compromises, but as you say "if it looks right" It could be way out but looks right to the eye

Length measures 433cm on my 1973 S3 109.
Bumper height is 46.5cm to the bottom or 59cm to the top.
However, I have got a custom front winch bumper fitted which isn't to exactly the same spec as standard.
7.50 x 16 tyres, parabolic springs but also a bit of extra weight on the front because of the winch and bumper. Also measured on gravel so like not an exact height.

Thank you, cutting chassis tomorrow if it's dry
I'll be on leaf springs and height will be adjustable as I build
